My pops is looking into some hop ups for his 440 (in a B-Body) so this one caught my eye. Can I ask a dumb question? How the heck do you actually "use" 540hp in an A-Body? Do you guys drive around on DOT legal slicks all the time? :D

100% agreed. Most of us love cars and tinker with our cars because they make us happy. Getting it exactly right isn't a test of your worth as a human being. Of course we want to seek out the best possible advice but it's way more fun to have an idea, trying it out and be wrong than it is to...

Ok...You talked out of both sides of your mouth through that whole post but this clinched it. Come on, man. I have no dog in this fight so I'll just let it go. I certainly don't think Uncle Tony's Garage is the one and only source of information. I doubt anyone does. He doesn't need me to...

Sincerely, thanks for writing all of that up. I always take your perspective and opinions seriously and every time I've applied your advice, it has served me well. Please don't take this the wrong way but this explains pretty much the whole "debate" here: No doubt, the time that you've...

I don't expect that you're following all of my posts but please note that I'm trying to play devil's advocate on this debate and to entertain Tony's suggestion. My first post in this thread, I stated that I'd take as much stiffness as I could get in a chassis...and this is because I am weary of...

I know you know a lot...But no. Uncle Tony isn’t making it up as he goes along. I may have misrepresented his comments. If you’re interested, check out the video. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t think that a more flexible chassis is better, at least not for the kind of driving that I enjoy. That...

Uncle Tony answered a question about frame connectors on his live stream last night (4/12/20) and he gave a new explanation that had some rational thought behind it. He acknowledged that a stiffer car with connectors will perform better but the extra flex in a non-reinforced car makes them much...

The "disagree" tag was about Tony in general. A lot of what he has to say is totally worthy of listening to! That said, I'm with you on this particular topic. He seems to have deep but narrow knowledge about hotrodding. If you ask him what tires would be the best choice for ripping around...

There are different schools of thought on this. On one side, you have the old school guys like Uncle Tony or the local restoration shop who bent up my exhaust system who don't think you need chassis reinforcement unless you have a Hemi and a manual transmission with slicks. On the other side...

I learn something every time I come on here.

How common is this? I had assumed they were all cast pieces by this point.

Very cool! There was a lot of buzz a years back about scooping up these 400s and tuning them into fire breathers. I don't think they're still as cheap or as common as they were at one point...but If this really only has 60k on it, that's a gem. A low compression big block certainly wasn't...

That's a beast! Where are you putting it?
